O’s Notes: British vocalist, songwriter Ruth Rothwell’s mom was Indo-Jamaican and her dad from South Africa, bringing global threads to her voice and style. She makes her debut as The Empire Child after many years developing artists at MCA/Universal. She gets support from Spanish producer, keyboardist, composer Mariano Díaz. The music has elements of jazz, soul, reggae, and pop providing songs that will appeal to a broad contemporary audience. “By Boat”, “Step Up, Step On”, “Trace The Race”, “Feeling Of Healing” and “Mind Be Free” are highlights.
